Her Washington Friends Disappointed Over
Her Failnre to Visit the Capital.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN May THE announcement
made this week that Mrs. General Grant had
determined to not visit Washington, she
promised to, this summer, a severe disap
pointment to her friends in this city Mrs.
Grant was probably the most popular and widely
known of the ladies of the White House Every
body knew her, and knew her as the plain, sim
cere, and pure Mrs. Grant. and not
sumed society She fond of her
personal friends. and regarded her acquaint-
ances of friendly character as friends as true
as herself. Her departure from Washington
was universally regretted No glad of
her leave taking. No one was jealous of Mrs.
Grant. She had rivals. And when she left
Washington she promised to return often and
keep fresh her friendships. But the country
knows how impossible that was. She returned
but very few times, and then only to remain
short periods.
1t was Mrs. Grants intenti to spend month
in Washington in the early part of this summer.
Her old and true friends General and Mrs.
Beale. were to give her their entire time and at
tention. But Mrs. Grant shows her age. and is
sad. She has sent word that she cannot come
She intends to spend the remainder of her life
with her children, and says she has no heart to
60 around alone. When Mrs. Grant is dead the
family name, it is believed, will be extinct far
as the country is concerned. None OF the
children keep it alive unless possibly Col
times his name is used for political position.

A Suggestion that Ex-SoIdirs Be Given Pref
erence in Selecting Homesteads.
Special to- the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, May THE suggestion has
been made to a number of statesmen and very
enthusiastically received, that the Public Strip,or
No Mans Land, situated IN the northwestern
corner of Indian Territory, be thrown open to
settlement aud ninety days preference given TO
honorably discharged Union soldiers. There is
very little doubt that this unoccupied strip of
land will be thrown open to sediment by Con-
gress this winter, and the justice in giving ex-
Union soldiers the pick of the land for homes is
apparent. There is no land in the public domain
to-day which is very desirable for homesteads
for poor INDECENT people Many of the SOL
diers who would now en- brace opportunity
to secure a home in the West at
this time, either did not have the op-
portunity did not need it when there
were good lands open to them. Many of them
have recently become dependent or poverty
stricken. At the General Land Office it is
learned that very little land which is desirable
for homesteads remains open to settlement.
That in the domain at this time s far beyond
water or access to railroads or other transporta-
ton facilities and will remain so. Much of the
choice lands have been taken by immigrants
people who never have done anything for the
country, and people whose sole interest in the
United States rests in getting free homes
settlement to the loyal soldiers. but not
tenth of them were secured by the boys entitled
to them. There very little more to offer the
soldiers, and the lands in the Public Strip No
Mans Land seem to be about the last chance,
since the roll of the deserving is fast lessening

But there is even a still worse and more fla
